It’s just such a natural thing to start talking about the stuff around you in such a venue.
I tend to do it in the local parks, with the ophiolite and other geological features, as well as around the natural tidepools.
Grifting, sadistic psychopath.
Describes every single antivaxxer and Climate Change denier I’ve ever encounter on social media and face-to-face.
An agenda to be envied.
And while I am fond of many of the critters in these places, my wife knows that she could leave me at an octopus enclosure, come back 3 hours later, and I’d still be in the same spot.
Stupid people exist because altruism is the dark side of Natural Selection.
Recycle, reuse.
#Antivaxxers said the same thing about the outbreaks of #measles, 10 years ago, then about Covid.
Blaming people coming in to our country from places where #vaccination rates are higher, for increased cases of diseases they cause by refusing to immunize themselves and their kids.
Trump’s Cabinet nominations were a loyalty test.
And Republicans showed that they were willing to put sadists and psychopaths with absolutely no relevant experience into positions of power…
…to placate a sadistic psychopath with no relevant experience that they had put into a position of power.
Props for the “Germs” activity cart at Pacific Science Center, that addressed gut microbiome, bacteria, hygiene, viruses and vaccines.
When I did my activity cart about viruses and #vaccines I counted on #antivaxxers getting hostile with me.
I’d stay calm and explain the evidence that nullified their claims, while they got loud, accusatory and then stormed off…
…in front of the other guests who were my actual target audience.
Science on a Sphere: a 10ft diameter spherical projection screen at Pacific Science Center. This one showing the paths of hurricanes over 50 years,with wind speed ranges for each category.
Had a #ClimateChange denier at one of my Hurricanes demos at Pacific Science Center.
She was just going down a litany of already debunked talking points, which were easy to refute.
Eventually, she just got up and walked out, because they don’t want to understand; they just want to win an argument.
So much of our tax money used to go toward medical research and social safety net programs for those in need.
It says everything about Conservatives that they feel best represented by a demented psychopath with the vocabulary and demeanor of a schoolyard bully.
It also said so much about those on The Left who let him return to power because they refused to vote for a Woman of Color.
Republicans want us to believe that “clean” coal exists, but not batteries.
Never trust a plastic surgeon with Picasso prints in their waiting room.
We are not so much at the whims of a madman; we are at the whims of opportunistic sycophants who continue to comply with a sadistic, criminal psychopath
Another rat escaping the sinking ship
Guns are are the only way for weak, insecure little men to feel “powerful” and “respected.”
Here’s a nominee who fits the Republicans’ definition of “fit and qualified” for a Cabinet position.
(Just keep RFK Jr away)
The Right’s definition of “religious freedom.”
T-shirt that reads Make Science Great Again
How many careers in medical research had already been destroyed by a demented psychopath before he took our taxes away from research for helping children with cancer, to pay for missiles that blow up schoolchildren?
Trump hates anyone actually as smart as he can only pretend to be.
#science
He really had some amazing stunts in his silent films.
My favorite is The Kid Brother. Seeing him pull off his jacket and jump into that gang of thugs reminded me of Clark Kent changing to Superman.
So, I looked it up and found out Lloyd’s milquetoast characters were, in fact, the model for Clark.
Sir?
Sir?
Gotta get up, now.
He’s called a Cabinet meeting.
That’s a valid criticism.
Newer bottle I keep in a conspicuous place at the aquarium, and the button I wear while doin’ my docentin’.
Given up on being subtle.
#science #vaccines #scicomm
Water bottle with the pro-vaxx message, “I contributed to herd immunity” written on it.
I’d keep this water bottle with me at the various areas around the #science center, to prompt discussions about #vaccines with guests.
If I was at the faux tide pool touch tank, I’d place at the entrance of our Just For Tots play area as a “subtle” reminder to new parents.
ICE agents are the final proof that these weak, insecure little men have only been hoarding firearms to use on their neighbors.
Now a demented psychopath has given them badges to hide behind and virtual immunity from the law, so that they can indulge their sadistic fantasies.
Just now, I saw the lights flashing at a crosswalk ahead, and stopped.
Then watched *4* other vehicles coming the other way (San Juan Island ferry offload traffic) blow through it before anyone on that side stopped to let the person jog across.
I probably could have if there’d been witnesses -and they were willing to wait for cops, or give me contact info.
This was in 2017.
Wanna guess whose name was on the political bumper sticker he had on the tailgate?
